When an everyday, man-made item is pictured against a natural, outdoor setting it can create a unique contrast and intriguing, whimsical mood.
In this collection of artistic photographs taken in Kamloops and the Okanagan this spring, we see colourful items popping out against more subdued natural backgrounds, wooden chairs placed outside and wild horses in front of a train.
The creative captures give us an interesting view of our communities and natural spaces.
If you have artistic photos to share, please send them to news@infonews.ca.
